The flag of Sweden is a Scandinavian cross that extends to the edges of the flag. This Scandinavian cross represents Christianity. The design and colours of the Swedish flag are believed to have been inspired by the present Coat of arms of Sweden of 1442, which is blue divided quarterly by a cross pattée of gold, and modelled on the Danish flag. Blue and yellow have been used as Swedish colours at least since king Magnus Birgersson royal coat of arms of 1275 as its mentioned in Sweden flag map.

The design of Sweden flag is said to have been inspired by the Danish flag, the Dannebrog. Blue and yellow (gold) have always been the traditional Swedish colours. The colours on the flag probably stem from the shield that features on the national coat of arms (three golden crowns on a blue background) and the golden cross on the “Great National Coat of Arms”. The Scandinavian cross represents Christianity, the religion on which the country was founded as its shown in Sweden flag map.
